"Padmakara (Guru Rinpoche) has influenced countless beings through the Vajrayana teachings and in particular through the activity of the profound terma treasures. This great master was not an ordinary person on the path or just a noble being on one of the bodhisattva bhumis, but an emanation of both Buddha Amitabha and Shakyamuni" ~ The First Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye
